Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia also known as arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy is one of the leading causes of arrhythmic cardiac arrest in young people and athletes, but is probably under diagnosed in the older population. The clinical course of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is characterized by the occurrence of arrhythmic events, which can cause sudden death, and the impairment of ventricular systolic function, which can lead to death from heart failure. Diagnosis has been facilitated by a set of clinically applicable criteria. The treatment is aimed at reducing the risk of sudden cardiac death properly risk-stratifying patients that would benefit from an implantable cardioverter defibrillator .Antiarrhythmic drugs and catheter ablation are also commonly used to improve quality of life by preventing ventricular arrhythmias, exercise restriction to prevent disease progression. This report presents case of elderly man with newly symptomatic arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia.

The bedrock of agricultural development in developing countries of sub-saharan Africa is rural development, without which all efforts at agricultural development will be futile. Agricultural development can only be attained if necessary rural infrastructural facilities are adequately provided in rural areas. This study assessed the availability of rural infrastructural facilities and its effect on agricultural productivity of rural dwellers in Abeokuta North local government area of Ogun state. Interview schedule was used to elicit information from 120 rural dwellers from six rural communities. Information obtained was subjected to descriptive and inferential statistics. Availability of seven rural infrastructural facilities was assessed. The results showed that roads were available to all the respondents while electricity (70.83%) and schools (83.33%) were available to majority of the respondents. Majority of the rural dwellers reported the proper functioning of roads (66.67%) and schools (82%) while partial functioning was recorded for electricity (60%), portable water (50%) and storage facilities (66.67%). The study concludes that sustainable rural development is a function of the availability and accessibility of rural infrastructural facilities to rural dwellers who are mainly small scale farmers. It was recommended that government should make provision for infrastructural facilities in rural areas of the local government.

This paper deliberated to impact of domestic trade and Nepal-India trade by demonetization of Indian currency by Indian government. The Indian government is claiming that the action is a surgical strike against black money. The demonetization of the large bills has received mixed reactions. A large section of industry and the public reacted to the decision with overwhelming support, stating that the government should have taken such action a long time ago. Their point is that deflation is the most prominent and quick bang that is going to be seen in the Indian economy. On the other hand, this move is not only going to affect the Indian economy but also the Nepali economy, which is very closely linked to India.

This study was conducted to estimate relationships between body lengths from several biometrical traits viz. Total length relationship between Standard length, Head length, Interorbital space, Length of the snout, Depth at the origin of dorsal fin and Orbit diameter of Macrones vittatus (Bloch, 1794). Samples of 419 individuals (ranging between 86-175 mm) were studied in the present investigation. The linear regression equation and coefficient correlation for Total length and Standard length is 0.785, r=0.99, Total length and Head length is 0.166, r=0.949, Total length and Interorbital space is 0.182, r=0.995, Total length and Length of the snout is 0.083, r=0.938, Total length and Depth at the origin of the dorsal fin is 0.260, r=0.991 and Total length and Orbit diameter is 0.033, r=0.924.

Osteoporosis is a disease of bones that leads to an increased risk of fracture. Osteoporosis is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a bone mineral density of 2.5 standard deviations or more below the mean peak bone mass (average of young, healthy adults) as measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and calcium metabolism plays a very important role in such bone diseases. Calcium metabolism or calcium homeostasis is the mechanism by which the body maintains adequate calcium levels. Derangements of this mechanism lead to hypercalcemia or hypocalcemia, this article highlights majorly on the calcium metabolism and its effects on our health.

Frequent and abrupt movements affect stock market movements adversely and results it in a highly volatile stock market. Hub of this study is to determine the relationship that exists between stock market volatility and macroeconomic variable concerning price level. Inflation rate, gold, oil and producer prices have been selected as macroeconomic variables concerning price level whereas volatility in KSE-100 Index served as dependent variable of the study. It is based on 144 monthly observations of the selected variables for a period of eleven years from 2002-2013. Multiple regression analysis is applied based on Ordinary Least Square. Findings revealed that statistically there exists a significant relationship between index volatility and selected macroeconomic variables. Movements in oil prices affect capital market movements positively whereas negative impact of inflation rate, gold and producer prices is revealed on index volatility. It is concluded that movements in these variables can help in predicting capital market volatility.

This study aimed to compare the effect of balance training methods including core stability, plyometrics and their combination on static and dynamic balance in female futsal players. To this end, a number of 60 female futsal players from Shahrekord city were selected as the participants using purposive sampling method. Then the subjects were randomly assigned into four groups each with 15 members including three experimental groups (core stability training (N=15), plyometric training (N=15) and combination training (N=15)) and a control group (N=15). Height, weight and leg length were measured in the subjects. In the pretest, the subjects performed Stork Test and Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) to examine their static and dynamic balance performance, respectively. Based on the training protocol, the experimental groups did 8 weeks of their assigned exercise training. The training sessions were held three times a week and 45 minutes per session. The control subjects performed their routine trainings. After eight weeks, all variables were measured in the four groups again. Paired t test was run for within-group comparison, and one-way ANOVA was used for between-group comparison. The results showed that combination training group achieved the best performance in both static and dynamic balance comparing with other groups. Based on the present findings, it can be concluded that a combination of core stability and plyometric exercises may improve static and dynamic balance in female futsal players. Thus, it is recommended that these exercises be included in training programs for futsal players.

Multi-hop Wireless Networks (MHWNs) are anticipated to play an important role at the edge of the Internet, enabling a large number of innovative applications. The great demand for capacity from a large number of users and applications, coupled with the sparse bandwidth available on the wireless channel, place particular emphasis on effective congestion management approaches. Effective and well-studied algorithms for congestion control at the transport layer exist in wired networks. However, for a number of reasons, these approaches do not translate directly to wireless environments. In this chapter, we first describe the problem of congestion control in MHWNs, and discuss approaches for solving it. The presentation is organized into two components: (1) a review of the causes of congestion and algorithms for congestion avoidance in MHWNs at different layers of protocol stack; and (2) a review of analytical models for the rate control problem and their use for congestion control.

At 1.2 V power supply the proposed MUX design consumes 47.093 ?W power on BSIM-4 and 47.09 ?W power on LEVEL-3 with simulation length of 5n. The proposed multiplexer is designed and simulated using DSCH 3.1 and MICROWIND 3.1 on 180nm.

Solid rocket motors are produced in the form of segments which are used as boosters in the launch vehicles. To produce any rocket segment, hardwares are subjected to a series of operations. The rocket hardwares are thin cylindrical shells which are very sensitive to the externally applied loads. During production, a number of handling operations are essential. A suitable interface is to be generated to cater to the production operations. These requirements are met by connecting a circular ring called End Ring to the hardware using the available hardware interfaces. This paper deals with Design and Analysis of HES Dome Side End Ring for Head End Segment.
